Men in women's sports

 Excerpts from Brian C. Joondeph, M.D.'s article at www.americanthinker.com:

President Biden’s executive order: “Preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation” means that women’s sports are now open to males who “identify” as females. 

How will they do?


The US women’s soccer team, 2015 World Cup winners, lost to a 15-and-under boys team from Dallas. Another example occurred in Australia when the women’s national team lost a practice match 7-0 to a teenage boys team. The FC Dallas U-15 Academy team beat the U.S. Women’ s National Team, 5-2 | USA TODAY High School Sports (usatodayhss.com)

Take Olympic track as an example, the 200-meter race. The women’s record is 21.34 seconds, set in 1988. How would men’s times in the 2016 Olympics compare in this same event? There were 10 heats in the men’s 200-meter event at the Rio games, each heat with 7 or 8 runners. Of the 80 or so male runners, all but 5 had a time that would have broken the women’s 28-year standing women’s Olympic record.

Several years ago in Connecticut, two boys “transitioning” into girls competed in the girls’ state track championship, taking first and second place in the 55-meter sprint, the winner setting a new state record.


Take another Olympic sport, weightlifting. In the 69 kg weight class, the world record for men is 357 kg versus 275 kg for women, close to a 25 percent difference. Biologic women competing against biologic men would have no chance of getting anywhere near the medal stand.

From hypothetical to reality, this scenario played out as described. In the 2017 Australasian Championships, a New Zealand man, transitioning into a woman, easily won a gold medal in women’s weightlifting. How is that for discrimination, now legitimized via Biden’s executive order?

Not only sports, but also restrooms, locker rooms, and any school sports. If members of the boys’ high school soccer team decide to identify as girls, they can join the girls’ soccer team and shower with them too. What could go wrong?


For more on where we are headed as a planet now, see the satanic half time show at the Super Bowl.


What's the connection to Torah Im Derech Eretz? How will TIDE be possible in a world run by satanists?

Thomas Jefferson on the press

Thomas Jefferson:

"Nothing can now be believed which is seen in a newspaper. Truth itself becomes suspicious by being put into that polluted vehicle. The real extent of this state of misinformation is known only to those who are in situations to confront facts within their knowledge with the lies of the day. I really look with commiseration over the great body of my fellow citizens, who, reading newspapers, live and die in the belief that they have known something of what has been passing in the world."

~ Letter to John Norvell, June 14, 1807

"I will add, that the man who never looks into a newspaper is better informed than he who reads them; inasmuch as he who knows nothing is nearer to truth than he whose mind is filled with falsehoods and errors."

2 letter roots according to Rav Hirsch

 Do any of you know any explanations offered by Rav Hirsch for two letter verb roots?   For example:               

                The word ben (son) is two letters.  These two letters are part of the word bina (understanding), and bein (between), and boneh (build) --  these two exact letters, in this exact order.  Thus there is philosophical connection between all of these particular words.

Titanic: Demographics of the Passengers (icyousee.org)

A man's world? 84% of the men died. 28% of the women died. Why? Because men gave up their lives to save the women. That's the way the world worked before feminism changed things.
